Experience
Zebra Technologies | Industrial DesignerJanuary 2018 - Present
Huge Design | Industrial Design InternJuly 2017 - December 2017
After graduating, I joined Huge in San Francisco to develop a variety of consumer electronics through a comprehensive design practice for clients like Intel, Samsung, HP, Axon, and many others.
Blue Clover Studios/Berry Plastics | Industrial Design InternMay 2016 - August 2016
Worked with the industrial design team to develop packaging design solutions for corporate customers, picking up knowledge on a wide variety of plastic production methods along the way.
I have worked with the global team at Zebra to introduce new products and solutions for Zebra’s wide portfolio. I’ve gained experience in interdisciplinary collaboration and design leadership with a focus on production-ready surfacing and ergonomic considerations.

The Challenge:To update, refactor, and redesign legacy keypad layouts to fit within an updated form-factor that is 10mm shorter.
The Solution:By increasing the halo around keys, we are able to improve user perception and confidence to mitigate reduced key size.

Intel Rush CreekCMF and Visualization
We worked in conjunction with the Intel engineering team to develop a refined appearance for the Rush Creek FPGA card. While mostly a sight unseen (and heavily constrained by airflow and thermals) we managed to boost product family alignment and create a stronger connection between packaging and product.
respirerespirator
the problem:
the solution:
Respirators are great for protecting our lungs, but have a lot of potential for misuse and often aren’t used as frequently as they should be.
Respire won the 2017 Model Solution Sponsorship Award
Respire is meant to bring simplicity and comfort to the experience of using a respirator. By improving on the pain points of respirators and dust masks, Respire aims to make respirators more personal and customizable while increasing the frequency of use.
Heat and Humidity Scratchiness MisuseProtection and Use
Problem IdentificationGaining insight from user interviews.
“The air valve helps, but I feel like I keep breathing the same hot air.”
Problem Identifier: Problem Identifier:“Dust masks are uncomfortable, but they’re cheap and easy to store.”
“I like the respirator’s rubber seal but the straps are a pain.”
Problem Identifier:“I would like to get a respirator, but I would have to use it more to justify getting one.”
Problem Identifier:“I usually use dust masks when I sand and spray-paint.”
“I use the stock respirator filters, but I’m not sure what they’re for.”

Respire’s filters are swappable and stackable so that you can combine filters to customize your protection.
Mix and MatchProtection for your needs.
Respire has a built in fan to prevent uncomfortable heat buildup, and the bottom facing exhalation valve
prevents you from re-breathing the same hot air.
Beat the HeatRespire is cooler than the rest.
Respire’s rechargeable fan battery and control is out of the user’s sight, but the textured rubber button makes
controlling Respire quick and easy.
Take ChargeControl Respire with a touch.
Respire has a lineup of specialized filters that match your specific needs and are easy to understand.

Exploded ConstructionDesigned with manufacturing in mind.
swapactive watch
the problem:
the solution:
Digital information can be obtrusive in some situations, especially in wearables. Many wearables lack the focus and ruggedness required by active, adventurous users.
Swap is a smart watch for active users. It is meant to create an uninhibited, unintrusive experience that allows for quick access to information.
Don’t sweat it, swap it.Swap’s bezel is designed to protect the watch screen and body from scuffs and other damage. Like a built-in case, the bezel is replaceable in the event of damage or in the need of a face-lift. That way, you can focus on your well
being and not the well being of your watch.
Repairs made easy.

modomodular hand shower
the problem:
the solution:
Design a modular hand shower system with a minimum of four interchangeable modules which perform a specific and unique function.
Modo is a hand shower ecosystem which addresses canine care, stain removal, accessibility, and exfoliation.
Modo won first place from Delta Faucet.
GROOM
